2021HotShotFINAL copy

Created by a dedicated group of volunteers in 2020, the #FTDhotshotchallenge began as a community-driven, grassroots campaign that used social media and hot sauce to raise awareness of FTD and funds for AFTD’s mission. In response to its success, we’re burning up to announce that this year, the #FTDhotshotchallenge will be an official part of AFTD's Food for Thought campaign!

Much like Food for Thought has only “two key ingredients”—food and FTD education—the #FTDhotshotchallenge has three:

Food for Thought

AFTD’s Food for Thought is a grassroots fundraising and awareness campaign focusing on food and FTD education. This year's campaign — the ninth annual — will take place from September 26 through October 10, 2021. Coinciding with World FTD Awareness Week (September 26 - October 3, 2021), volunteers across the country will increase awareness of FTD, while raising vital funds for AFTD's mission in innovative ways.
